| Cover |
This was made after I finished all these pages, so I had the most experience with this piece. The cover photo relates to my theme (which is "intensity", hence the title), by giving it the same 'glow' in the corner as the rest of the book seems to follow. It also has an 'intense' vibration look to the bottom half of it, with the shifts double lines. The emphasis on this is the word "intensity", as it is darker than the background, and stands out; like a title should.

| First page (lines) |
This was my first page, and also one of the first pieces I've actually done and finished on Adobe Illustrator. So that being said, I had little to no idea what I was doing. Thank God that Adobe programs have the same format.
The emphasis in this piece is the white circles in the bottom left corner, as the background is practically solid black on white. This first page follows my theme with how the various lines mess with your eyes, making it look like it's moving.

| Second page (shapes) |
For this page, the ides was to make an image solely out of the shapes tool. Still having no idea what I was doing, I seemed to have gone back to the lines, but these are made of rectangles.
The emphasis in this page is the white blur in the center. Because I was unaware of the feather tool at the time, that is actually a circle with a gradient, and not a feathered circle, which would have been the obvious and easiest solution. The circle in the center also follows the theme I had going on; just like the title page, this page has the bright, almost iridescent glowing on it somewhere.

| Third page (patterns) |
During the third page, we learned about patterns, and how they were transparent, so you can overlap different patterns. We were also introduced to the idea of 'image trace', which is personally one of the best tools to work with, other than transforming paths/shapes with a custom mesh.
The emphasis is the black/patterned 10-pointed star, as it is one of the darkest things on this piece, and thus, stands out. This piece relates to the theme, 'intensity', because there are several patterns overlapping each other, and the traced building looks like it's vibrating.

| Forth page (color scheme) |
My last page, the forth. One that I probably lost the original idea halfway through, as you can obviously see. It was based on color and color scheme, and I chose was triadic (green, orange and purple).
The emphasis could either be the exploding Chihuahua or the cat's eye lasers; you can have two emphasis points, right? This matches my theme of 'intensity' by the entire image being a mess of color and explosions/lasers. It's pretty intense.
